COST or A SWELL WARDROBE.
Exhorbitant Prices Which the New Iorl
Tailors Charge for Good Clothes.

New YORK, August 1S.-I have heard
half dozen men say recently that they
found they could save money by going
to London to buy their clothing. It is
true Of actors particularly, who are
obliged to have large number Of suits
on hand, but the economy is just as
evident among less extensive purchasers.
Herbert Kelley went to England this
year for the sole purpose Of replenishing
his wardrobe.
Gone can get good clothes on this
side Of the water, undoubtedly" he SAID,
''but the trouble is they cost triple what
they DO in London. \ crack tailor here
charges so for pair OF trousers, and
that sum will buy three pair il Eng
land
The tailors OF New York are constant
ly growing more eXhorbitant Ill their
prices. There are Of course huge en-
periums or bazars where clothes are
clipped out like shoe pegs and sold like
hot mullins, but it goes without saying
that well dressed men do not patronizc
them.
4 man to earn the distinction OF being
pronounced well dressed in New York
must exercise great care not to dress too
much or too highly. He must spend
considerable sums upon his attire, but
nothing like the amounts set down OF
late in numerous articles that are going
about in the daily papers concerning
the cost of well-dressed New Workers
wardrobe. The statement that at least
twenty thousand men here spend five
thousand dollars a year on their cloth
ing causes an aching void to replace
ones heart. I'm not an expert on
clothes, but realize the absurdity of that
report. Suppose man buys eight suits OF
clothes year, which is an extraordinary
number, the cost would be about as fol-
1ouc.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 17.-Meyer Kaufman.
well-known commission merchant, ar
rived in the city yesterday from Cuba,
after an experience there for which he
will ask the United States to demand OF
the Spanish government $4,000. Imne-
diately upon his arrival at Havana a
Spanish officer, without an explanation
of any kind, locked HIM up in Jail. Two
or three days passed ana he was still con-
fined in the Jail, having no place TO lie
down on but the tagging of his cell, and
being furnished with nothing more sub
stantial in the way of food than the prison
fare OF bread aud water. He learned that
he had been arrested on the charge that
he had swindled merchants in the City of
Mexico to the extent OF $27,0 He mad
been arrested as man named Meyer, and
the clew upon which the Spanish authori-
ties went in the arrest was furnished by
ms first name and the fact that the swim
dler was Hebrew like himself. For twelve
days and as many nights Mr.. kaufman
was confined in the Spanish dungeon, and
after the first few days found himself we'll

on the rough stone tagging. An officer
at last arrived from the City OF Mexico

who, after examining him, declared that
he was not the man for whom he had been
looking. On this the Cuban authorities
permitted his release, and he was sent off
without a word Of apology or eXplana-
ton. For the loss of his time, the dam
age to his business, and the personal in
dignity of having been thrown into a for

SYLVANIA SOCIETY.
Fun at Bo Peep Party Trying TO
Tail Il Red Sheep.


SYLVANIA, GA, Jan. IA "Bo Peep"
party was given by Miss Willie Park at
the residence OF W. l.. Mathews, Jr.,
Monday night. The entertainment was
unique and novel one. A red sheep,
minus tail, placed upon a sheet in the
corner, formed the point around which
interest centred. The guests were all
furnished with little tails, and, being
blindtolded were required to attempt TO
pin the tail in the proper place. The
many futile attempts to retail the Ver-
milion-hued animal were ludicrous the
extreme. Miss Nellie Fisher nav
ing come nearest the mark,
was awarded tue prize. After this
the gentlemen engaged in the womanly
art of hemming the different colored
aprons Of the young ladies', and right
manfully did they do the work. Charles
IL. Won Starch, OF Scranton, Pa, proving
himself TO be the most skilltul in the art,
was awarded the prIZe. Refreshments
were served during the evening, and 1t
was late hour when the guests unwil-
llngly departed.

Gen. Sanford on for Europe - The
Ice Factory-The Water Works.
SANFORD, FLA, Jan. 19.-Hon. II. S.
Sanford left for Europe Monday night.
Since Gen. Sanford has been here he has
endeavored to ADJUST the differences be
tween the Sanford Water Works Com
pany { of which he is President) and the
town. The Council refuse TO slgn the
contract giving the water WORKS company
a fifty years. franchise unless the com
pany guarantee an adequate fire protec-
ton.
There is talk that the Florida Midland
will make It's terminus at Sanford.
The ice factory, which is to replace that
burned last August, is AT length finished,
and viii probably begin TO supply Gus
toners by Jan. 20. 1he principle is a
new process inven Ted by MIR. Haney Of
using ammonia under pressure. The
daily capacity is thirty tons. A swim
ming bath Is to be built, which will be
supplied with water from the artesian
well, which is supposed to be very eilca-
cious in curing skin diseases and rheuma-
tism. Negotiations are pending for
coal storage warehouse. The company
propose to supply families at the rate OF
Sl4 per ton.
The city OF Sanford was lighted with
gas on Jan. IA. The light is of excellent
quality. The gas is made from tat pine
wood and crude petroleum.
The original plant for supplying the
town OF Sanford with water has been
found insufficient to meet the demand.
The works will be enlarged.
Mr. Rand, the new agent of The Florida
Land and Colonization Company, will
enter upon his duties some time between
Feb. and 10. Mr.. Beardall will remain
